She's a 4th Grader

Getting home from 5 glorious days in Denver and having to jump right back in to real life was a bit crazy. We had soccer practice at 9:30 that morning, junior high registration stuff, Lucas' birthday party, then both kids had back-to-school open houses in the afternoon. I was running around all day!


Whitney's open house meant she got to visit her classroom, find her desk and meet her teacher.


She's most excited because her best friend Madison is in her class this year after not being together the past 2 years.


I'm excited for her to have Mrs. Atwood because I've heard good things about her and know she'll push Whitney to work harder. Whitney would prefer to have a school schedule that involves Art, Drawing, Recess, Coloring, Lunch, Recess and then Crafts. Um...not gonna happen.

Today was the big day for her to start 4th grade!

She loves the new messenger bag we got instead of a backpack this year. I think it's hilarious that she will mostly carry one folder and a lunch back and forth in that big bag.


Landon had the day off, since he had gone to the 7th graders only day yesterday, and offered to walk her to school. I'm sad that they'll never be in the same school at the same time again because I loved having them be able to walk together everyday.

**Do you remember starting 4th grade?**
